ruggedtimi: Timi is a yoruba/ijaw name, doesnt mean it belongs solely to the yorubas or ijaws. Infact. There is a slovenia football player called "Timi" does it mean his own timi belongs to the yorubas or ijaws?.... How can you tell igbos have more rights to that name "Wakama" than the wakirike people. Omo this una igbo argument dey suprising. I said earlier igbos might also bare the name but it doesnt change the fact that Wakama is not an okrika name. Omo make una take am easy for this igbo thing abeg. You even added N..(Nwakama). There is no okrika name as Nwakama...is Wakama.
ruggedtimi: lol like I said you know nothing...this is my early morning view of okrika...pic with the yellow mark is the eleme refinery with a view from okrika...the other pic is the island of okrika...All the wakama's i know are all from okrika.
Binaowei, don't mind those attachee by force Easterners. Rena wakama is an Okrika-Ijaw lady. The Wakamas is known family in Okrika just like the Fibieresimas.

I do not and have never had any Nigerians as friends.
I do however have interest in international affairs especially those of the African continent. Nigerian, kenya, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia are countries whose politics I follow keenly.
Well I could say the samething , most SA don't hate you but a lot of those who have had close encounters with many of your people have lived to regret it. From human trafficking victims,to those defrauded by fake pastors . From having their children kidnapped and drugged to victims of organ snatching . I could go on.
And yes, South Africa has Nigerian doctors , professors etc but those are in huge minority compared to the "hardworking hustlers" basically people who have no business being here.
I remember this one year when there were anti-immigrant riots in Johannesburg and businesses of foreigners were burnt. The government called upon all affected business owners to come forward and claim compensation...and guess what ?Nigerians were ranting online claiming the government criteria was unfair. . Guess what the government wanted?. papers that proved you are here legally. Proof of your business certificate (or some documentation used by asylum seekers). Proof of address and tax number. These are the most basic documents any legitimate business owner should be in possession of and the Nigerian " business owners" had none of that. And ofcourse we know what business is run behind all the spare-parts, hair extensions,taverns and internet cafes . It's pretty obvious but they think they're smarter than the community members they live with 🙆♂️😅.
And I will correct you on one thing, it's not only people the" lower strata" of South Africa that dislike Nigerians. Generally people who have lived in neighbourhoods with a large population of Nigerians can never like Nigerians . We are two societies that should have never been made to co-exist( my opinion) . Unfortunately the government of the ANC signed us up to liberality (global homo) . Now you see even less deportations of foreign filth because human rights activists sponsored from the *West* will paint these bastards as victims and drag the government to court. We are seeing the effects in the West, SA isn't left out of the bullshyt.
And lastly, I do appreciate that you didn't label SA as some evil nation after your precious African blood . Because I was going to ask you to ask your friends and brothers here to tell you why they're not running away like they ran away from home. We hear it everyday from mainstream Pan-Africanists that we are Afrophobic...the question I always ask, is why are these African crusaders not moving to the over 50 African nations that are loving and welcoming? . They complain and bytch about how horrible we are but you'll never see them spreading their shytty Pan Africanism in other African countries where natives are butchering each other's tribes for sport . That one no concern them . SA because it's the country that has a lot already made is what Pan-Africanists cry over . This has nothing to do with them loving Africans or wanting African unity .....its all about the hate for black SA.....we are the Africans that seem to be eager to fix our own shyt while others would rather desert their homes. Pan-Africanists don't believe in building , they are pro chaos and destruction like their globalist funders. That's why on every SA thread, you have their agents crying like homeless bytches over "Afrophobia " . They are projecting their feelings on us. They despise us, not because of any discrimination they suffered but because they have covetous souls . These are people who come from tribalistic nations...why didnt they fix African problems there first ? . We are their biggest targets among the black race...and some of us understand just why
This Southy, you too like vawulence. 😂 Where's My friend from Sepedi, Samantha24?
shafykay: Like several others in the streets of Nigeria’s major cities, Glory Effiong Ekanem, a university graduate, hawks sachet water for survival. Glory buried her certificates in her wardrobe and settled for trudging the streets and campuses of higher institutions to hawk her wares because she has mouths to feed.
Glory’s existential story became handy when Saturday Tribune sighted her hawking with two transparent plastic buckets. She stuffs one with iced sachet water and soft drinks balancing it on her head while holding firmly to another containing snacks around the University of Uyo classrooms. Ironically, the 43-year-old mother-of-four, who’s now hawking before undergraduates, graduated from the University of Calabar some 25 years ago.
This is her story: “My name is Mrs Glory Effiong Ekanem from Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area. I am a married woman with four children and my husband is working with the State Ministry of Works. I am 43 years old. My first child is 14 years old and she is in Senior Secondary (SS2).
“I am a graduate of the Department of Animal Science, University of Calabar, Cross River State. I graduated in 2000.
“After my National Youth service, I went for an interview in the Ministry of Health, Akwa Ibom State, but I couldn’t get a job there. I went to the State’s Fire Service, wrote their recruitment exams, came third but they didn’t take me.
“I went for another one after some time and we were asked to pay the sum of N300,000 to get the job. I don’t want to mention the place, but what I don’t understand is why would these people ask us for money when we were looking for a job?
Would I be job-hunting if I had that kind of money? I don’t think so. After doing several interviews in various sectors with no success or employment, I decided to go into business, no matter how small, instead of hoping and waiting for a job.
Player “I am doing this business (hawking sachet water) because I need to have my own money to assist my husband in taking care of my family.
“The economy is hard, so every man needs all the support they can get and that is why I am selling “pure water” and soft drinks. It’s not every time you ask your husband for money.
“I have a shop where I sit down and keep my goods of soft drinks and sachet water, but I always come out to hawk because that way, I sell more.
“I started this business in 2022 after teaching in a private school. There, I was receiving N20,000 as salary. I had to stop the work because the cost of living was seriously increasing.
In that same 2022, my sister introduced me to this business and helped me purchase packs of biscuits, water and drinks and looked for an open space in the University of Uyo.
“I started the business with N10,000. Then, things were not that costly as we could still buy a carton of biscuits for between N1000 and N2000 and we bought a pack of sachet water for N150 and sold it for N10 per sachet.
“The business was profitable then because things were not that expensive. Now, we buy a bag of sachet water for N300 and sell N30 per sachet.
Then, I normally sold five crates of soft drinks and five cartons of biscuits daily and so I was making profits. But now, it’s not like that. What I sell daily then, I struggle to sell in a week now. Because of how expensive a bottle of soft drink is now, students no longer buy it. I can hardly sell a crate of soft drinks these days.
“It is not easy to make ends meet in this economy but I thank God. I am not too affected by the rising prices of some foodstuffs especially garri because I have cassava farms.
“I have a plantain farm and also a pineapple farm. So, most times, I make garri from my cassava farm and keep in the house for my family and that is how God is sustaining us. If not, it would have been very difficult to feed six mouths with the increasing price of garri. Even with that, it’s not easy to eat things.
“Fuel is the major problem we are facing in this country. If the price of petrol can be reduced, things will become better.
“The government should do everything possible to reduce the fuel price so that poor people can afford basic food in order to survive.
“There are empty spaces in government establishments, I am also calling on the government to give employment to everyone with the requisite experience and requirement.”

I sense a deep feeling of frustration and regret in your words.
However you must understand that You're not doomed! Unless u just want to be
At 34, you're still relatively young, and many people have successfully transitioned careers or acquired new skills in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. So yours cannot be different
Take a deep breath and let's break this down:
Acknowledge your strengths: You have a first degree and 8 years of experience in customer care. These are valuable assets!
Identify your interests: What are your other dreams and passions? Make a list, no matter how wild or impractical they may seem.They can always be handy to help you make helpful progress in life.
Explore new skills:: Research high-rated skills that align with your interests. You can start with online courses or certifications to test the waters.The good thing is that these courses are easily available online and offline.
Take small steps: Don't feel pressured to quit your job immediately. Start by dedicating time outside of work to learn and explore new things that aligns with your experience and interests.
Seek support: Just like you have done here, talk to trusted friends, family, or a mentor about your feelings and aspirations. You might be surprised by the encouragement and guidance you receive.
Marriage and skills are not directly correlated: Your worth and readiness for marriage aren't defined by your skills. Focus on personal growth,and making more money as get fulfillment in your purpose and the right person will appreciate you for who you are.
You have today and you can start now. Don't give way to despair at this young age.

tensazangetsu20: One year today I left Nigeria. I won't lie even though my research was solid, I was still very scared. I remember when the plane crossed the Andes mountains and the pilot mentioned they were landing in Santiago in 40 minutes I was super scared. My mind was like this isn't Google, reddit, wikipedia or the economist. This is real life. A place with hardly any Nigerians or anyone. No one speaks English.
A year later, I am proud to say coming here was the second best decision I have made in my entire life. Men, I will always bet on myself always. Men in this life, whatever comes to your mind go and do it. It's better to do it and fail than to not do it at all. I don't even believe in failure. It's a social construct. The real failure in life is not doing or taking any action at all.
I believe even if I came here and it didn't work out in anyway for me, I would still have had the experience of at least knowing another country, making friends and also knowing a new language. But men I have found everything I want here. I have friends, I have girls, I have good jobs. I have everything everything I want or need
Vikalinda: I remember then days when I regularly pass that Azikiwe rout to rsust back gate as a student. All those brothels around that zone were death trap the girls can drag you in if you walk alone late night. So we avoid returning to our apartment late night alone
Yes, Azikiwe street that leads to RSU back gate is the first street in Mile 3, I wonder why the OP post Mile 2.
EmmyMaestro: Man Collapse Goes Into Coma Shortly After Coming Out From Brothel In Mile2 Area PHC
There was pandemonium at Azikiwe street in Mile 2 Diobu, Porthacourt, Rivers state on Sunday,28th July 2024 as a man whose identity is unknown fell and went into coma seconds after coming out of a brothel in the street.

Our correspondent who was on ground reports that as at the time the Azikiwe Police Division arrived with ambulance to take the man to a medical facility, the man was no longer breathing.
It could also be ascertained if the man finally lost his life or not as at press time.
Weird news from brothels in Azikiwe. A man died there, years ago.
Interesting15: Avoid backbiting, gossiping and tarnishing people's image behind their back. There is a divine ordinance called "The Law of Sowing and Reaping".
For every single person you backbite or whose image you tarnished(particularly if it now closed a door of opportunity against them), at least 10 other persons are meant to do the same to you too behind your back. It's an ordinance.
Just mind your own business and learn not to dabble in things not your business. Focus on your own life and destiny. And if you know you are guilty of this, plead the blood of Jesus to cancel anything the enemy might want to hold on to bring accusations against you in the courtroom of heaven.
JigsawKillah: See, I write words that check men
Suffocate the B's, the vibe worse with S men
My gang chaotic, we ride wars like X Men
Blasting every thing, we Cyclops with Tex, men
24 to life? I'm not invested
Hit 30, that stuff, I'm not interested
But niggas move mad and nobody checks them
I visit they fathers , 'cause I'm not repented
Niggas tapping screens, while I tap they chicks
They wait for listing days, she hits me place
They fight for CEX, all night we sex
Now they crying dust, while she rides me crotch
They hate when I say it, a man splits his time
To a woman who's worth it, when he leaves the grind
He gotta stay fit, so he brings all his game
And she gotta hawk tuah and speet on his thang
Money is a must, so he needs all the change
Before the engines get knocked, get the grease off, get laid
Family is a challenge, ensuring kids are well raised
But if he puts the ring on it, he's got himself to blame
Age comes with clarity, stay strong on salary
The message is important so stay off the gallery
It's never enough so make something passively
Life's an action movie, with fake guns start packaging
Never be afraid to change all you acting with
Play the game no matter whose baseball you're batting with
Every morning is a gift, so praise God, unwrapping it
If you don't get the part, break off, come back again
